"He was thinking about the position of the commander of the navy." Fan Dan's disease has this good cake to stretch the doorway

"What's wrong with that, after all, he is already in the navy, and his rank and experience are good enough." Fan Heng replied, "What he lacks is just an opportunity, and there is support from the top." ”

Fan Wuxian still felt a little incredible. The running officials at this level really haven't seen much yet, although he has also run for his father Fan Heng before, but that's different. Because Fan Heng had already served as a member of the Standing Committee and executive vice premier, all he was seeking now was a normal re-election.

But Chen Guangyi is different, he is now just a deputy commander at the bottom of the ranking, there are several senior deputy commanders in front of him, and there are also candidates such as political commissars, deputy political commissars, and secretary generals, and there are at least five or six people in the queue for him.

In Fan Wuxi's opinion, Chen Guangyi's appetite is indeed a little bigger.

But Fan Heng doesn't think so, "It seems to be like that, but in fact it is not necessarily, if the commander is also based on seniority." Are you still motivated? In fact, the selection of leaders in key positions is generally not based on seniority. ”

Fan Wuxian nodded, admitting that what his father said also had some truth.

In fact, after reaching this level, everyone has one mind and strives to win steadily.

It would be nice if we could go further. But even if you can't straighten it out, your level can be satisfying, after all, it's already good, what else can't be satisfied?

In contrast, many people are only lieutenant colonels and colonels after a lifetime, or worse than this, so there is really nowhere to make sense. As a man, you shouldn't have so many extravagant expectations.

The reason why Chen Guangyi found Fan Heng was because the two had dealt with each other before.

More than 20 years ago, when the three-and-a-half-year-old Fan Wuxian came up with the design sketch of the blizzard torpedo, Chen Guangyi met Fan Heng. Because Fan Heng was mainly responsible for making torpedoes, he had a lot of contact with Chen Guangyi both in the process of production and testing. It felt like it was just yesterday.

This is also a friendship formed in battle. Therefore, Chen Guangyi dared to go directly to Fan Heng to show his heart, and Fan Ting did not feel that Chen Guangyi was a little unreliable in doing this, the key was that the two had a fighting friendship at the beginning.

According to Fan Heng's account of his son Fan Wuji, after the accident occurred, the leading comrades of the Central Military Commission made a special trip to the military station to personally investigate and understand the situation. He personally boarded the wrecked submarine towed back, went down to every cabin, carefully inspected every combat position, inquired about the relevant details in detail, held discussions with the leaders of the unit and relevant experts, and analyzed the cause of the crash together.

In fact, submarine accidents are not uncommon, and the navies of all countries have experienced the tragedy of submarine accidents. According to incomplete statistics, from the end of World War II to 1990, there were about 91 submarine accidents in various countries that sank in non-combat combat, including 15 nuclear submarines. More than 600 people died, and 76 from conventional submarines. There are many reasons for the sinking of nuclear submarines, and among conventional submarines, the top three are collision, water ingress and unknown causes.

In 1959, the submarine Tsukashi was wrecked after the exercise was completed and was salvaged two and a half months later. Later, An was towed out of the sea and placed on the playground of the Qingdao Naval Submarine Academy, which became the image teaching material of the new generation of submariners.

In the martyrs' cemetery of the Zhoushan Islands, there is a tomb group that is particularly eye-catching, it is composed of 38 tombs, and there is a bluestone tablet on its front, on which are written "Monument to the Martyrs of Unit 1385". Word. This group of tombs is located on the middle of the mountain road of the martyrs' cemetery, and standing in front of it, you can just overlook the vast East China Sea. These 38 graves are the officers and men who died when the Navy Hill 8 submarine was wrecked.

For quite some time, this was a story that the world did not know, because no deeds were left on the tombstones of the martyrs. Even today, many young people in Zhoushan do not know that more than 40 years ago, a group of selfless and fearless Chinese submariners sacrificed their lives in the vast East China Sea to explore the combat technology performance of submarines, a cutting-edge weapon at that time.

According to the data of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, there are three underwater wreck escape ports in three of the field-type conventional submarines, namely the torpedo tube in the front, the command cabin in the middle and the lifesaver sleeve in the tail lift. At the same time, each combat position is also equipped with a single life-saving equipment, which has a mask, a breathing bag in the shape of a lifebuoy, and 3 high-pressure gas cylinders. Even if the submarine hull is damaged and flooded. You can escape by wearing scuba gear, as long as the water depth is not more than 60 meters. It is possible to escape after 60 meters, but it is dangerous. Fan Heng said to his son Fan Wuxian, "The accident occurred in a shallow sea at a depth of 50 to 90 meters, after the submarine accident. Even if the submarine was killed due to mechanical failure, the personnel of the submarine should be able to survive with the help of a single cow-saving equipment, and in the event that all 10 officers and sailors were unfortunately killed, this can only be explained by the fact that all 70 officers and men were killed in a very short period of time. Didn't have time to use a single lifeguard gear. ”

Although Fan Heng did not personally inspect the wrecked submarine, he was engaged in torpedoes, and he was still familiar with the old-fashioned O-Wu type conventional submarines, so the explanation was also very vivid, and Fan Wuxian could understand what was going on as soon as he heard it.

According to Fan Heng, the submarine is a metal cylinder, which is divided into several sections by a metal partition, and the partition is divided into three forms: concave, convex and flat. In the case of decommissioned O-Nu submarines, for example, they can withstand pressures of twenty, seven, and four atmospheres, respectively.

"For example, if the partition of the compartment you are in is facing outwards on all sides, then if your adjacent compartment is unfortunately broken and flooded, it will be within 200 meters of the water. Your chamber will not be pressed into water, unlike the commonly understood convex surface, which is only seven atmospheres, which translates to hydrostatic pressure at a depth of 70 meters. Fan Heng said.

If a submarine wants to sail smoothly underwater, it must cooperate with several parties. Taking the adjustment of torque difference as an example, when navigating underwater, it is usually dozens of liters or dozens of liters of water transfer, so it is particularly taboo for personnel to walk back and forth over large distances, such as from the boat to the stern, because it will make the mechanical and electrical chief and the elevator helmsman busy again.

Western-type submarines had seven compartments with watertight doors between each compartment. When navigating underwater, the watertight door of the cabin should be closed tightly, and the watertight door of the cabin should be opened and closed when personnel pass, so that even if the adjacent cabin is damaged and flooded, it will not affect the whole boat, which is stipulated in the regulations.

Based on the analysis of the above various situations, Fan Heng believes that there was no big explosion in the boat at that time, and the wreck was due to the sudden and violent fire with a strong leakage of humming poisonous gas, or the wrecked gas valve of the high-pressure chamber for pressurization was opened by mistake and lost control. And because all the watertight doors of the submarine's compartments were opened at that time, all 70 naval officers and men were killed in a very short period of time, but the submarine hull was not damaged.

The biggest possibility is that the submarine is testing a new weapon, and the extra thirteen people on board are people from scientific research units. Because testing new weapons requires a lot of temporary installation of equipment on the submarine. The instruments and equipment were distributed in different compartments and connected by cables, so that all the watertight doors of the submarine were opened.

"The new weapon to be tested should be an underwater missile, not a torpedo, because the torpedo fuel leaks only slowly, and it is impossible to suddenly start a violent fire accompanied by a strong leak of toxic gases. Under normal circumstances, the underwater missile was fired some distance away from the boat before igniting, but the missile on the wrecked submarine ignited inside the boat for some reason. The fierce flames and poisonous gases produced killed all 70 people in the boat in a very short period of timeFan Heng said, seeing that his son was a little incomprehensible, he explained, "The missiles used in the test are not equipped with actual combat warheads, and usually only carry one or two, so the wrecked submarine did not have a big explosion, but only burned or poisoned people." Fan Xiang's inference made Fan Wuxian listen to it. I think it's more reliable, after all, Fan Heng has been on a submarine before, tested torpedoes, and knows something about underwater-launched missiles, so Fan Wuxian thinks that his father's words are very reasonable.

Moreover, Fan Heng also deduced that the missile tested may be Russia's Club Sister series submarine-launched missiles. If it is domestic, it is unlikely that it will make such a mistake, after all, domestic military enterprises rarely make mistakes on this kind of issue.

"It seems that it is safer to use your own things Fan Wuxian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

But when he said this, Fan Wuxian figured it out. It turned out that what Chen Guangyi was asking for this time was not without a purpose.

As a result of this incident, the navy will certainly have to go through some rectification, especially since it has just been re-elected, and it is impossible not to make some fine-tuning to the military; in recent years, the navy has not been very satisfied with the top leadership, and now that such a thing has happened, it is impossible not to dismiss a few important cadres.

On the contrary, Chen Guangyi himself was very familiar with submarines, and he was also a high-ranking general who had worked up for many years, and he had both grassroots experience and leadership experience. If he can get some nominations. The possibility of going further is still very high.

Especially when the Navy has just gone wrong, not many people really want to sit in this seat that looks a little hot.

"In that case, it would be better to push him. It is believed that it will be beneficial to the modernization of the Navy, especially for the application of independent intellectual property rights in ships. Fan Wuxian suggested to his father Fan Heng. There are no pop-ups
